Angst Cheating Romance Books Novels & Stories

Author’s Note to the Reader Dear Reader, What you are about to step into is not just a love story. It’s a tangled web of passion, betrayal, secrets, and the quiet ache of discovering the truth behind the people we think we know. Jacqueline’s journey is one many of us know too well, the journey of holding on when we should let go, of chasing stability while craving fire, of mistaking comfort for love. Her story unfolds in layers: through the haunting grip of her dreams, the unraveling of a once-promising engagement, and the magnetic pull of a man who exists both in her subconscious and in the shadows of her waking life.

PROLOGUE TATIANA Death smashed into the back of Adrian’s slick Maserati, demanding our lives. My body jerked forward and the seat belt cut into my chest. My heart jumped, racing as fast as my husband’s driving. “What’s going on?” I whimpered frantically as I glanced over my shoulder. The headlights of a black SUV filled the rear window. Smash. My body jerked forward again. “Adrian!” I screamed. “Gun, get a gun.”

"I remember! Their love was beautiful. They were so happy. I always imagined we'd be like that, too. This is the first time you've spoken to me in so long. Does that mean…" I cut her off. "They divorced a few years later. She cheated because she couldn't stand looking at his face anymore. See? The love you cling to ends the same way." When I first heard that follow-up, anger surged through me. I couldn't understand why sincere people were always the ones who got hurt. But after thinking it over, I realized something. It wasn't sincerity that was wrong. It was the person on the other side. I looked straight at Jenna, enunciating each word carefully.

I imagined him flipping me over, pinning my wrists while driving that thick cock so deep I’d feel it in my throat. “I’m your little slut, Max….your Christmas whore…” The fifth climax left me shaking, thighs trembling, cunt throbbing like a heartbeat. I came so hard I saw stars, but the ache deep inside didn’t fade. “Please….fill me….claim me…destroy me…” I murmured as tears streaked down my face. The ache only grew. A hollow, gnawing need only his cock could fill. I fell asleep with my fingers still inside me, dreaming of snow and sin.

“I’ll be back tomorrow. I even bought your favorite pastries.” He was only a few meters away from me, with one arm wrapped around Leah’s waist, the other holding his phone to speak to me. How could a werewolf split his heart in half like that? I couldn’t understand when their affair had started. Why did the she-wolf he cheated with have to be my sister? Most of all, had he ever truly loved me? Or had he only wanted our arranged mating to secure his position as the next Alpha?

Seeing my cold, indifferent expression, Laurence's face darkened. "Dakota, do you really have no feelings left for me after all these years?" I gave a humorless laugh. "Feelings? During the five years we were together, you had been cheating on me with Zoey for four of them!" Laurence had been interested in Zoey back in college, but at the time, he was just a poor guy, and Zoey hadn't given him the time of day. It wasn't until four years ago, when they ran into each other at a reunion, that things changed.

After a brief silence descended between us, coughing as I spoke, I began to say it again. “He told me he cheated because I never let him touch me enough. Just… every time we had sex and I let him touch my pussy, he said I was dry as hell and penetration would hurt.” And he knows how hard I’ve been in search of a stable job since I graduated, and how we need this money for our… I gulched as Angel forced half a lemon into my mouth, telling me to shut up without words. I shot her a bitter look instantly. “You know what? You can’t keep being like this. It’s been two weeks since you caught that bastard cheating, and you have been mourning the relationship like a widow.”

My body tensed each time she seductively brushed his hands with her bloody red fingertips, and I felt my blood simmer and boil over when she leaned towards him to whisper words into his ear. I tried to make out the words as her lips moved but could not. The little minx was trying hard to make it clear that they were a thing. Or were they? I shook my head vehemently to zero that thought. It was none of my business if Angel chose to get back together with his cheating ex. “Are you okay?” Salvatore's voice rang in my ear but I was far from okay. Angel looked up from his meal, our eyes locking briefly before he tore his gaze away to return Zeta's whispers.

“Still want some? He asked. His deep baritone voice echoed through the room. My thighs trembled. I could feel the wetness flooding between my legs. My legs weakened, melting under his intense stare. In an instant, he swept me off my feet, placing me on the counter as he drew closer, sniffling me. He was all I wanted. My mind drifted to my boyfriend, he was too old to satiate my desires. I could easily be mistaken as an s*x freak, and he couldn’t handle the passion and fantasy burning within me, but with this stranger, his tantalizing touch awakened a hunger I couldn’t ignore. My thoughts spiraled the moment his lips lunged onto my skin. The softness and wetness of his mouth got me dripping e

He didn't waste much time before he resumed. “You're too good, baby…” I stuttered, my words almost hanging in my throat. “Do it more and harder, sweetie!” “Turn a bit.” Angus requested, grabbing my hands off to have more space. He was sweating profusely as though he had been on a farm. “Ellie?” My ghost mother called me again, voicing out my name this time. “Why are you cheating on me?” “How?” I asked, ogling at her with absolute disgust.
